Decent Udon noodles are another one of those things that only the restaurants seem to have. Wagamamma customers will know them as the big fat white noodles that are reminiscent of a very square-sided worm, but I suspect they make their own. When fried after boiling so they are slightly crispy and taste amazing. While Tesco used to stock a Yutaka straight to wok variety that fit the bill (which can...

By Hadley Freeman of the Guardian : Conventional wisdom dictates that a female celebrity's worst fashion faux pas is to turn up to an event wearing a dress that has been worn by another, thinner celebrity before. The "who wore it better?" feature, a standby in celebrity fashion magazines, has rendered the "repeat dress syndrome" even more of a bête noire. Yet a certain designer...

Hehe ..I've always wanted to use L'oreal's tagline in a blog post title. I've been very good over the past few weeks and have spent very little money on make up since coming back from visiting hubs. The only purchases made have been from funds in my Paypal account (and that's not reeeeal money is it?!!) and I also bought the latest Sleek palettes last week. Over the past few months I've built up my...

Four weeks on from the Evening Standard 's giveaway rebirth , how's its distribution network doing? You may remember that free copies were originally available only outside central London stations and scattered suburban supermarkets. Have things got any better ? I've taken a look at the Evening Standard's updated distribution map to find out. Hmm, better. But could do better. In the centre of London...

A proud moment from October: I was asked to address envelopes for invitations to the launch of the Tiffany jewellery department at Selfridges in Manchester. The envelopes were a gorgeous shade of blue, and of course the paper quality was fabulous. They'd been shipped over from the US for the occasion. I wrote in copperplate calligraphy, in black ink. Tiffany jewellery is now available in store at Selfridges,...

I have had some feedback that not all of you like the "what's in the window" feature. Well actually, one specific person doesn't like the "what's in the window" feature. But I don't feel like other people should be in a position to choose what you do or don't write about, otherwise all blogs would look the same, and that would defeat the object of writing a blog altogether. I also...

As my students begin the final year of their course I tasked them one afternoon to reflect on how far they had come, what they had achieved and where their aspirations lay. I was quite surprised with their genuine thoughtfulness and candid reflection. As the group are very visual it was clearly appropriate to request that they communicate their thoughts and emotions through a mood board. In addition...

Sir Roger Moore has funded an ad campaign to encourage shoppers to think again before buying foie gras, a delicacy he calls "tasteless". The former James Bond star has been trying to persuade Selfridges to discontinue sales of the pâté which, he says, is made using cruel methods to fatten goose livers. He has now paid for, and appears in, a new bus stop ad for the campaign group...

Yesterday evening my sister, the boyfriend, and I had dinner together, followed by a walk down Oxford street to view the festive window displays (Selfridges-wow!) and check out the Christmas lights, which were turned on on Tuesday. Despite the cold, I wasn't wearing a coat. Why, I hear you ask? Well, quite simply, because the weather is so confusing it's hard to know what to do for the best! When I...
